You have to take Gran Torino for what it is. You can't take it too seriously but you shouldn't view it as a comedy either even though there are some parts where you're supposed to laugh.

Its okay of a movie. Its a lot of back and forth from Denzel trying to negotiate with Travolta and that takes up a lot of the movie. Then they try to throw in 2 car wrecks that were stupid. There is a ton of cussing and one gory shooting scene where the people magically stay alive for a little longer although they have been shot 15 times. Its entertaining so it was worth the $6 for me but it doesnt get really into it until closer to the end. Travolta does pretty good even though I had my doubts. If he had a deeper voice he would have fit the role better.Originally posted by 49ersfan_87 View Post

I've probably said it before in this thread, but as plain as the poster is, I really love this poster, hell I might even buy it. Maybe it's because of that sexy man in the astronaut suit, I don't know

Its definitely the sexy man in the suit. I may need to bring my Rockwell sig back for the release of Moon...Originally posted by Mr. GoosemahnOriginally posted by killxswitchComment

Watched The Big Lebowski, really good stuff by The Coen Brothers. I could understand why they gains such notoriety with this film, good comedy with a screwball story that eventually leads right back to the beginning. Jeff Bridges was brilliant, and I thought Philip Seymour Hoffman was perfect in his role

Gran Torino = late 60s/early 70s muscle car.
Early 70s = time of Eastwood as vigilante cop in Dirty Harry.
Eastwood character in GT = neighborhood cranky vigilante...... sense of deja vu, anyone?
Height of arrogance = Eastwood informing the Academy it would be his last acting role in 2008. That translates as Give me that Best Actor statuette NOW! More Oscars for makers of very pedestrian & redundant films? I hope not.
Sorry, no Oscar for Clint for GT, he got his last hand job from the Academy after they screwed Scorsese that yr. for Million $ Baby. Maybe making sequels to & variations of the same hit movie called Dirty Harry (that his mentor Don Siegel directed, not Eastwood) might have something to do with Hollywood & the ticket-buying public being sick & tired of Eastwood in the same damn role.Last edited by LizardState; 06-16-2009, 09:58 AM.Comment
